The Visit of the Magi
1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, 2:1 A caste of educated men specializing in astronomy, astrology, and natural sciencemagi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, 2 "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him."
9 After hearing the king, they went on their way; and behold, the star, which they had seen in the east, went on ahead of them until it came to a stop over the place where the Child was to be found.10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11 And after they came into the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary; and they fell down and 2:11 Lit prostrated themselves to; i.e., lay face down in a prone position to indicate worshipworshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And after being warned by God in a dream not to return to Herod, the magi left for their own country by another way.
